The 2012 China Economic Forum will be held this Saturday in Ningbo's Nanyuan Hotel under the theme of "Export•Breakthrough•Globalization". The forum will focus on how to expand market and seek opportunities when facing severe challenges of shrinking external demand.
The forum is jointly organized by the Southern Weekend, a weekly newspaper based in Guangzhou, and Shanghai GM Buick. Many leading experts and scholars attended the forum. Among the expected keynote speakers are Ye Tan, Commentator of CCTV Financial Channel, Zhang Jun, director of Chinese Economic Studies Center of Fudan University, Zhou Xiaoguang, president of Neoglory Group, and Xu Jianfeng, vice president of made-in-china.com.
Hurt by the weak EU, U.S., and Japanese market, China's export and import growth witnessed a slowdown in the first half of 2012. Characterized by an export-oriented economy, Ningbo saw an import and export growth lower than the national and provincial average in the first half of this year. Ningbo's international trade, know as a barometer of China's foreign trade, has caught wide attention in the forum.
